This article focuses on the theatrical production "The Crucible." "The Crucible" is a play that rewards almost everyone in the cast with at least one moment of glory, and the Roundabout's large cast reaped all their rewards. Randle Melt and Harriet Harris as John and Elizabeth Proctor sustain the weight of tragic fate with a nobility that seems natural and unaffected, than which there is probably no more difficult task for an actor. If "The Crucible" is indeed the nonpareil it seems to the author, one can't help wondering why.
